Beverly Suarez-Beard’s short stories have appeared in various magazines and anthologies, including Realms of Fantasy, Century, Talebones, Paradox, Cicada Magazine, and Writers of the Future. Her story “Rosita’s Baby” won first prize in the international Writers of the Future Contest for new writers, and “Silver Apples” was a semi-finalist for the Nebula. She has recently completed a novel and is working on another.

The child seems to come from the distant past. Electrical appliances are new to her; she speaks a lost language. Her hands move compulsively in strange patterns. Who is she and what is the tragedy that haunts her?

Roger and his parents hide in the hills as a virus reshapes humankind into something more alien. But when he meets Rosita, an infected survivor and her baby, all his assumptions change. Author Beverly Suarez-Beard, previously a semi-finalist for a Nebula Award, takes us on an eerie, post-apocalyptic journey in her first story on Curious Fictions.
